    i know theres a danger were playing straight into eircons hands but i feel theres a need for actions against these outragest prices and would liek to gage the support for action.

    Lets vote with our mouses, not to mention if we gave an undertaken to support esat over eircon we might get an interesting group deal.

    anyway id just like to put this to the commitee and get things moving, maybe its abite to much but lets stop bitching and start to work to get something done

    Word from Beam [the two way satellite guys] is that the *may* not charge the installation+equipment prices in one go, but intergrate these charges into a 1 year contract.

    you may end up paying £200 a month for one year, but you get unlimited, high speed access.

    although their is a dubious "fair use policy" which puts me off.

    200 ounds for half decent broadband doesnt apeal to me, especially that your nearly a sured that the bussiness models of adsl wont have a cap

    I do think that people will take time before doing anything. Those prices are crazy with a cap ... without a cap ... well ... it's not as bad, and I think people would order it.

    I think maybe a price of £80 (inc VAT) would be best for a home user (NO cap).

    Who knows.
